But, he was taken off at halftime of the 3-0 loss and United said in a statement on Wednesday that Casemiro “will be out for several weeks due to a hamstring injury suffered during” the game. It added that “subsequent assessment has revealed a strain.”
United have three games before the next international break, visiting Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday before traveling to Copenhagen in a crucial UEFA Champions League match on Wednesday and then hosting Luton next weekend.
United are eighth in the league table after a lackluster start that has seen manager Erik ten Hag come under increasing pressure.
